What marketing have you done so far? For the kickstarter, not just the game.

And to answer the question, your weakness can be shown as a strength. Rally your team and do a big last minute pus: "This hidden gem of a game has only a week left! Help get it funded!"

In terms of marketing, we compiled a huge list of review sites/subreddits/twitter profiles/email addresses/forums to promote to, trying to personalise messages as much as possible. Also plugging like crazy on Facebook.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea, we'll give one last push and see how it goes. Thanks!

If I google "Uplift Kickstarter" nothing comes up. So, I assume that your attempt at getting reviews / articles / etc.. have failed. There appears to be no web presence for this game.

Unlike others, I don't mind the retro graphics [although these are very retro and that may hurt you]. I doubt anyone has heard of the game. This is a marketing fail, so to speak.

I'll also add the folks talking in the video show no enthusiasm or energy. It is a fairly boring video.
